Looking to add some friends, especially other big guys

feel free to add me. i am not a guy but love giving support

Hi, my name is Michael. This is my first time I ever been on any kind of diet. I went to the doctor about 3 weeks ago. And of corse the first thing they do is put you on the scale. Its the only time I ever get on one. I`ve been running about 262 lbs. for a couple of years. I`m 5' 10'' tall, Italian. And love to eat like all Italians do. At age 56 I didn't think much about my weight. My wife always tells me she loves my belly. ( I look about 11 months pregnant). The scale in the office is now digital, it raced up to 289.9. I was floored. I knew I had gained some but, nearly 30 lbs. almost brought me to tears. I knew even before seeing my doctor I had to do something to lose some weight. He`s running some blood tests to see everything is in right balance and gave me this plan to keep track of what I was eating. Told me to keep my calories under 2000 a day. Cut out the starches and red meat. Eat more often during the day of things that are good for you. Like salads, fruits, veggies and lean meats and fish. Which I am not a big fan of. But I`ve been sticking to it. I think one of my biggest problems is, using my belly to push away from the table. I feel if you really want something, You`ll do your best to get it. I`m trying my best. I hope to meet others here who are ready to be their best also. We can all can do it, like I say all the time to all my friends," We got this don't worry".

I'd love more guys on my friends list since the vast majority of my friends here are female... My top weight was 320lbs and I'm down to 234lbs

Hi I started at 333 still have a way to go feel free to add me

I am not a guy but I looking to lose 130 and always here if you need me

I started at 350 and was down to 250 and am currently about 260. Trying to get back on track to take off the last 30 - 40.
Anyone can feel free to add me I need all the encouragement i can get.

Hello, not a guy but you can add me if you like as it is always nice to have some friends to give you motivation....anyone can add me if they want

Not a guy but have over 100 lbs to loose. I was 480 (yikes) but was 360.8 when I started MFP. Still have 192 lbs to go but this ole lady will get there. Anyone who offers support and words of encourgament please add. I KNOW I can do it (and so can you!) but support always helps.

i started about 1 year ago. i had hit 296.

within a month of finding this app i knew it would change my lifestyle

dont look at anything as a diet. diets are meant to end. that was always my first failure. i totally changed how i eat. used to eat fast food 5 times a week, now its been at least 10 months since i had fast food.

my workouts are more focused and my meals much healthier.

currently im around 230.

tomorrow i do a bod pod testing for BF% and tests to determine my BMR etc. i also plan on seeing a nutritionist for even more guidence

i am not going to lie and say its been easy but if you want to make a change....

I've struggled with my weight for most of my life, but usually was able to lose weight once I made the effort. Since I turned 30, though, my weight has continued to go up and I haven't been able to lose it. I started last week over 340. I'm hoping to make it count this time. Add me and let's get it done.

Friend request sent...I'm on here daily and keep an open diary

I'm a big guy. I'm 6'2" and when I started working out, I weighed about 270. When I started here at MFP, I weighed 263-264. I've lost a little over 10 lbs so far--So I'm about 252 now. and I want to try to lose another 10-15lbs. I do a ton of cooking and have been an avid cook for more than 20 years. I will send you a friend request. I could use some more guys on mine.

My name is Brian. I am 6'2" and weigh around 450lbs. It really sucks. I had gotten down to 358 using this site a couple years ago, but then things happened and I lost my way. I found myself back up to my high of 452 and back on this site.

Like so many others here, I started at 307, I'm 5'10". I'll definitely send a request. Always looking for motivational friends. I log daily and am trying to stay pretty active on the forums.
